It seems like a bug, and - sorry - I don't have a solution ready, but:Did you try closing down all other apps as well? Restart the Ipad completely?Did you banish the ninjas in your own manor or in a friends manor? (btw - it's better to do it the second way for other reasons.. see here Did you have the 3 other ninja quests before that one?

so to at least answer one of your questions: no, it's not normal, and yes, there should be another quest coming after that - even if I don't remember exactly which one. (it can be found somewhere in the forum, I'm sure, as we talked about these quests a few months ago)

Well, if the quests for the Ninjas are on, of course there should be Ninjas in the Manor? I think they just got lost in the updating-mania for all of us people that already finished that quest... But If one has a friend that has that quest right now, the Ninjas should be there.
